Plasterers have the ability to earn a good income, which is what makes this option an even more appealing one.

Start a painting and decorating company

Just think, you could set your own hours and choose your own prices, plus you would be doing a job that there is always a need for – there’s never a time when people don’t need their homes painting and decorating. If you are a dab hand with a paint brush and can effectively hang wallpaper, then this could be the ideal idea for your startup.

Offer a ‘handyman service’

There are a lot of people who require help with small tasks, such as placing shelving on the wall, replacing old wallpaper, or painting a certain area of a property, which means that a handyman service could prove rather popular and highly profitable.

There you have it, three hands on business ideas that could potentially offer you the chance to get away from the nine until five grind and spend more time with your family while earning a good income to support them with.
